African Americans have made many contributions to the development of Social Welfare in America and to the evolution of professional social work. Forrester Blanchard Washington, 1887--1963, is a 20th century African American pioneer, whose work has been omitted from history. The profession has been deprived of knowledge about the foundation he laid in social work education, his social policy and research, his advocacy and his successes in community organization.

520 $a African Americans have made many contributions to the development of Social Welfare in America and to the evolution of professional social work. Forrester Blanchard Washington, 1887--1963, is a 20th century African American pioneer, whose work has been omitted from history. The profession has been deprived of knowledge about the foundation he laid in social work education, his social policy and research, his advocacy and his successes in community organization.
520 $a This interpretive biographical study of his 37 year social welfare career utilized the life course conceptual framework to explore its themes, and how historical events, choices he made, social relationships and his self-efficacy influenced his career development and his contributions. The study also investigated whether Washington adhered to traditional African American social work principles of race pride, self-help and humanitarianism.
520 $a Washington's career included five positions. Each was concerned with economic self-sufficiency and preparation for work by African American migrants or the education of social workers. He developed the Detroit Urban League (DUL) as a major social welfare agency to serve African Americans during the Great Migration. In World War I he implemented policy in Division of Negro Economics for the Department of Labor to organize and mediate racial conflict in communities receiving African American soldiers. He was a respected survey researcher. He directed a second Urban League affiliate, the Philadelphia Armstrong Association. An epiphany led him to consecrate his life to Social Work Education in 1927. The Atlanta School of Social Work grew under his leadership through the Depression.
520 $a A committed person with high self-efficacy, Washington implemented culturally competent social work education in the curriculum, pioneered the use of the block field placement, and advocated for social work education for the disabled, all before these values were embraced by the profession. He advocated for equal opportunity for work to support human dignity, and resisted social policies that encouraged dependency on public welfare. His beliefs in race pride, and self-sufficiency caused him to abort his Federal Government career opportunity as a member of the Black Cabinet of the Roosevelt Administration and led to a recommitment to social work education.
